Stowaway in the bonnet

Just changed the drivers side washer jet as not heating up. Started to take off the sound deadening on the bonnet and noticed a small hole. Then behind it



leaves


And a mouse nest. Alan checked it out and no longer occupied



Couldn't find any current occupation evidence and the leaves etc in and around it not local to me. So hope it's gone, as they can do a lot of damage to wiring etc.

And the Green Flag chap that recovered me on Monday had a call out the
previous day. Found a mouse, very dead after chewing through some cabling.

He managed to effect a repair and get the driver moving but he says it's quite
common.

Alan was from a litter of Rescued kittens, my son chose him as he was most lively and the one with the biggest b**ls (until he was chipped and chopped), also has a white tip on his tail so easy to spot.

Named after Alan in the Hangover.

He's a real star.

60Disco, best leave something nasty for them to eat when they arrive Thumbs Up It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

This is what happened one day when he had been doing too much just after he arrived.
